The Authors try to determine chosen symptoms of speed abilities in soccer players of four best teams in World Cup 2010 in the Republic of South Africa. They attempt to answer the following questions: — What maximum speed achieved during the match particular teams and lines? — What average speed in match achieved teams, forwards, half-backs and defenders? — What was the time during a match spent by a given team while performing the effort of high intensity? — What velocities in sprints were achieved by athletes during a match? The collected data show that in best four teams the best speed preparation was observed in Germans. The authors think that the combination of speed preparation as in Germans and soccer skills as presented by Spaniards might be a model for contemporary soccer player. Verf.-Referat
